COMS 530-Internship


Purpose

An internship provides opportunities to learn about and participate in the communication of a "real world" organization, (especially one that does excellent work in a profession you might enter after graduating) and to apply knowledge and skills gained in your COMS coursework.

General Description

You will arrange, for your internship, to work for an organization and be "mentored" by a qualified and committed supervisor. Like all business arrangements, an internship is an exchange. You will provide that organization with your time, energy, common sense, and all the knowledge and abilities you have developed so far. In return, you will receive opportunities to observe activities, gain information and skills, try your hand at meeting challenges, demonstrate what you have to offer, "network" in that professional milieu, and receive feedback that wouldn't otherwise be available to you.
